Disambiguation link notification for June 14
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Donna Summer, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page All Systems Go (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Please do not add or change content, as you did to Hot Stuff (Donna Summer song), without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Binksternet (talk) 02:02, 29 November 2014 (UTC)
Style points
Regarding edits of yours such as this one: When writing about the American singer Donna Summer, please use the appropriate spelling, for instance "favorite" rather than "favourite". See the guideline at WP:STRONGNAT.
Also, please use just the surname after the full name is stated, so not "Donna" but "Summer". See the guideline at WP:LASTNAME. Thank you. Binksternet (talk) 02:08, 29 November 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. Sideways713 (talk) 20:03, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

Disruptive editing...again
Because of this, after I warned you about this type of thing, I will be looking into your edit history and seeing what other problematic edits there are. I had forgotten about my intent to thoroughly look into this matter, but I will soon be doing that. If find a lot of disruptive editing, I will be reporting the matter at WP:ANI. Flyer22 (talk) 23:47, 28 September 2015 (UTC)
Already spotted a problem here. Yes, your disruptive editing will be going to WP:ANI, in a few or several days, maybe even in a week or two, after I've gathered all the evidence. Flyer22 (talk) 23:53, 28 September 2015 (UTC)
For a softer approach, since you noted that you didn't like my tone the last time we discussed your editing, do you mind taking the time to explain to me why you made this and this edit, and similar recent edits like those? Take a look at your contributions to see what edits you've made. Like before, in the case of the Whitney Houston article, you seem to be deleting things solely because you don't like them. And I've been clear to you before that disagreeing with something doesn't make that something incorrect or dubious. Wikipedia goes by what the WP:Reliable sources state...with WP:Due weight. Flyer22 (talk) 00:53, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
Here's another example. You seem to have a specific bias against Whitney Houston. Flyer22 (talk) 00:56, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
Hi again. I am still waiting for your reply. If you are taking time to reflect, or are waiting for this to blow over, I understand. But my concerns regarding your editing remain. And if I still see a need to escalate this matter to WP:ANI when I finally get around to thoroughly looking at your edit history, especially if it's because you have yet to explain yourself and/or convince me that I can trust your editing from here on out, I will escalate this case. If you abandon this account and use a different account to continue editing in the disruptive way you've been editing, that is not a good idea; see WP:Scrutiny. So, sure, take some more time, but this will not blow over if your problematic editing continues. Flyer22 (talk) 02:51, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
Hi there. In regards to your edit, do you have a source for this:
When Dolly Parton found out that they were using Linda Ronstadt's recording as a template, she called David Foster to give him the song's final verse, which she felt was important to the song. It had not been included in Ronstadt's recording.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Editing while logged out
You are 99.233.148.237 (talk · contribs), correct? If so, I suppose I should go ahead and report you per the #Disruptive editing...again section above since you are still engaging in WP:Disruptive editing, including bias against Whitney Houston. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 20:53, 6 December 2015 (UTC)
Confirmation is in the #I Will Always Love You section above that you are the IP. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 18:12, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
